In contrast to the usual belief, we show that a lower product-market competition may make the consumers better off and increase welfare when foreign firms strategically choose between export and foreign direct investment (FDI). A lower product-market... Read More about Competition, foreign direct investment and welfare.

Entry in the final goods ma... Read More about Social efficiency of entry in a vertically related industry.

In a Cournot oligopoly with consumption externality, we show that the presence of a strategic tax policy increases the incentive for a horizontal merger compared to the situation with no tax policy. Thus, we point towards a new factor, viz., strategi... Read More about Horizontal merger under strategic tax policy.

If the labor markets are competitive and the products are homogeneous, a lower transportation cost affects neither consumer surplus nor welfare of the importing coun...
